SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users of the Squad multi-agent framework often do not know which CLI command or coordinator flow handles a given task, forcing them to memorize command syntax and configuration file locations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interactive Command Menu: Presents six categories (Install & Upgrade, Team Management, Issues & PRs, Plugins & Skills, Model & Cost, Sessions & State) as a drill-down picker with back and cancel support. - Intent Matching: Maps natural language phrases like "upgrade squad" or "add team member" directly to the correct operation, skipping the menu when a direct match exists. - Guided Argument Collection: Prompts for required arguments with choices and defaults, then executes shell commands, edits .squad/config.json, or delegates to the Squad coordinator agent. - Use Case: A user types "squad commands" and is walked through connecting a GitHub repo, triaging issues, and activating the Ralph work monitor without reading any documentation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show squad commands or say "what can squad do" to open the interactive category menu.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see all available Squad commands?

Invoke the /squad slash command or say "squad commands" to open an interactive menu organized into six categories. Pick a category, then select an operation, and the skill collects any required arguments before running it.

How do I upgrade the Squad CLI to the latest version?

Run the Upgrade Squad CLI entry, which executes "squad upgrade" in your terminal. You can optionally specify a state backend (worktree, git-notes, orphan, or two-layer), or keep the current one by default.

Can I change the default model for Squad agents?

Yes, the Set Default Model operation edits the defaultModel field in .squad/config.json. You can also set per-agent overrides via agentModelOverrides or clear preferences to revert to the system default.

Does squad watch work inside VS Code?

Squad watch is a long-running foreground CLI process, so it requires a terminal. In VS Code you must run "squad watch --interval N" in the integrated terminal rather than through the skill.

What happens when I remove a team member from Squad?

The Remove Team Member flow deletes the agent from the roster along with their charter and history files. Because this is destructive, the skill asks for explicit confirmation before proceeding.
